The aliens might want to check the guano for coronavirus. The bats they come from are a soup ingredient in China. Not even Swedish Chef attempted that entree.
Stephan you just slay me !!!! I don’t know how you come up with these so consistently but despite Rats misgivings thank you for all of the chuckles over the years and keep going… Please.
If I came upon that thing in my yard, I don’t think the first thing I’d say is “can I help you?” It would be more like, “ayeeeeeee!!!” followed by pant wetting.
I really enjoyed this; best funny out of my Sunday comics. Does this make me a bad person? ( I would read a bunch of frames for a pun. I think Pastis may have broken something in me.)
Hurray for the Alien ray! It has done what so many of us have long wanted to do to that perpetrator of execrable puns, Cartoon-Boy! Now he’s just a steaming ashy memory! Yay!

Poor Pastis, he probably thought of "close encounters of the turf kind” in the shower then laughed out loud and spent 3 months thinking of the strip

Looks like Pastis had drawn upon all his comic art powers to come up with an authentic looking alien. Too bad he failed so miserably.

I think they’re confusing a counter with a dresser or a chest of drawers. Nevertheless the alien was probably correct to use his ray gun.

Wondering if that ray gun is anything like the “modulator” the martian on Bugs Bunny had.

When Pastis takes that much time to set up a pun, I really wish Rat would leave something of him for the rest of us!
